Successful comeback for OM!
The Marseille club did not miss its reunion with Ligue 1, winning easily against Toulouse (6-1).
An authoritative success that allows the Phocaeans to overtake Rennes and settle in third place in the standings.
Arranged in their unremovable 3-4-3, OM were quick to take the lead in this unbalanced meeting on paper.
Rongier was able to conclude with composure a counter perfectly led by Gigot, symbol of the excess of function which is the strength of OM this season (1-0, 13th).
The advantage in hand, the Marseillais generally controlled the first act.
And despite two scares at the end of the first period, on chances signed Chaibi (38th) and Dallinga (43rd), the Marseillais returned to the locker room with a two-goal lead, following a CSC gag from Nicolaisen with a header (2- 0, 41e).
Marseille blows up Toulouse
Unlucky scorer, the Toulouse defender is also involved in the third Marseille goal scored quickly after the restart.
The Téfécé n°2 was mystified by Kolasinac, author of a nice solo goal (3-0, 51st).
Without forcing, OM were able to take advantage of the opposing defensive woes to offer themselves a recital in the second half.
Payet, well established, participated in the celebration by coming to clean the skylight of Dupé, with a superb curled strike (4-0, 62nd).
Under on penalty (5-1, 80th) then Tavares (6-1, 81st) finished Toulouse overwhelmed.
The temporary reduction of the gap signed Van den Boomen on penalty remained anecdotal (4-1, 66th).
Winners on all counts, the Marseillais ended 2022 in a good way and will approach the new year with full confidence.
And ambitions.
